Can I get an applause from the mods?

On saturday, it was finally my mom's funeral. I got to place her ashes in the stone. pretty sad day. Unknown to me, my ex wife showed up. I had not
seen her in 10 years, just before episode 1 came out. She turned into a fat dog, but I was nice to her. I finally gave her a hug and said, "I
forgive you for leaving me for a black man". and I walked off. now doesn't that deseve some congratulations?

Don't be broken hearted over applause, thats a small thing compared to what you've experienced the past few weeks.

I know how you feel and what you're going through, I lost my mother a couple of years ago, unexpectedly as well.

Everyone will express their grief in different ways, maybe this is just your way of doing so? I know I was quiet, didn't really talk to many people
or say much around the family. After a few months, I was able to talk about mom and laugh and remember to good times again.

Time heals everything. Try to hang in there.

As far as the ex-wife, I have one of those too. Sometimes the best way to handle those situations are to just laugh. Let it go and laugh.

So again, hang in there buddy, you have people here who like you and enjoy reading your posts, I've seem them compliment you in your threads and that
is a form of applause, just without the points attached.

Hmm, I have no problem with this I would have done the exact same thing.

Now I'm not a racist person. You can all sit here and say what you want, but no one really knows me here, I'm very tolerant. I make a lot of
stereotypical remarks and jokes. I don't think I could live without them, this world would be far too boring of a place I'd have to shoot myself.

There is a difference between discrimination and prejudice. It's really a measure of which one you're willing to live with more, unfortunately in
this world you can't really have both.

You're always going to be prejudice towards someone, whether you discriminate or not is a totally different story. I would never discriminate because
quite frankly, I believe that no matter what your skin color, religion, sex, whatever difference it may be; we all bleed red and blood to me matters
more than appearance.

But yes jedi, you have my applause.

I'm gonna take a step over the whole "racism" factor because quite frankly if someone reads your comment and thinks "racist" they're really the
racist ones for thinking it. I can only hope that you used the other mans appearance as more fuel to throw onto your ex's fire and not to attack him
personally. It's only ammo to which you can continue to fight a battle is all.

All my friends do it, but they aren't racist because we're all friends with people of different races and we get along fine with others. It's just
something else we can use to put that "significant other" further into the ground.

"Thanks for leaving for me for another man" just doesn't have the same effect.

Now if Jedi is in fact racist, then that's a whole different story and quite frankly I wouldn't associate myself with him.

Now, you can all find plenty wrong with my ideas, but that's ok, it's just my ideas and by no means affects any of your lives and non of you know
who I am. Just as your opinions don't affect my life.

We're all a lotted our own opinions as long as it doesn't negatively affect the lives of others.
